You will not find a better location, with as elegant a room in Boston. Very nice staff. On top of everything from historic sites to shopping. Rooms are not the usual cookie cutter designs. Bathroom was a bit small but the land is so valuable I wan't surprised. The room size was actually larger than I expected. 24 hour room service. Great stay.

This hotel is a hidden gem. Eduardo and his colleagues at check-in and check-out were very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is close to a T station and BU and Fenway Park. We loved our stay there! The restaurant is very good, too!

Because of weather-related delays and cancellations of public transportation options, I chose to stay overnight in Boston in order to catch an Amtrak train the following morning to NYC. I enjoyed a good night's sleep with a bonus! After bundling up to go out for dinner in spite of the harsh weather conditions (gotta eat, right?) I discovered the year-old cafe on the ground floor. It offers a fresh salad bar, handmade wraps created to order from a large selection of interesting ingredients, and many prepared entrees.

Hotels

Many of hotels in Boston, especially those in the downtown area, bring tourists within walking distance of some of the most historical sites in the United States such as Faneuil Hall and Boston Common. Back Bay is another area of town that offers a vast selection of Boston hotels. This neighborhood features city tours, shops, restaurants, and notable landmarks. Regardless of what area you stay in, you’ll find a wide range of accommodations from luxury lodging and trendy boutique hotels to comfortable Boston resorts.

Transportation

Vacationers like to book car rentals, so they have the freedom to explore the Boston area at their will. As a general rule, avoid driving in the actual city though due to the congested streets and expensive parking.

For those without their own sets of wheels, The MBTA, also called The T, provides both a metro and bus system to areas within the city, as well as neighboring towns. The T is one of the most common ways of traveling around Boston because it’s both reliable and affordable. Once you arrive at your destination, you’ll find a number of other attractions and activities within walking distance.

Travel Basics

Boston is a pedestrian-friendly town with historic tours and plenty of sights to see from your own two feet; It’s no wonder they call it the Walking City. However, when you’re hitting the pavement to explore, leave your flip flops and stilettos at home. Boston is notorious for its uneven cobblestone roads, which are a recipe for twisted ankles, so pack a pair of comfy sneakers instead.

Boston is a friendly and inviting destination, but just as it is the case in any bustling metropolis, the possibility of crime does exist. To avoid seeming like an easy target, keep a strong hold on your backpack or purse at all times, and travel with your wallet in your front pocket. Especially at night, stick to well-lit areas, use the buddy system, and don’t hop on empty trolleys or trains.

Weather

It can be tricky to dress for the weather in Boston as it can vary greatly from morning to afternoon. For some of the best weather and temperatures though, the months between June and November are a prime time to visit. Summer temperatures sometimes reach 80 F and bring humidity, while the autumn months are slightly cooler and more comfortable.

If you’re planning to visit Boston during the winter months, don’t forget to pack boots, a warm jacket, and even scarves, mittens, and hats. Winter temperatures range between the 20 and 40 F, and snowflakes are a common occurrence. If you’re not a fan of snow, we recommend holding off on visiting until summer or autumn to avoid trekking knee-high in the white stuff!

Boston caters to the weather serving up New England chowder on chilly days, breezy swan boat rides on those muggy afternoons, and a comfortable stay regardless of what season you book your Boston vacation.
